Industrial Stocks' Earnings Slated on Nov 7: RBC, SITE, SCSC

As the earnings season is nearing its finish line, we have results from 364 S&P 500 members or 72.6% of the index as of Nov 2. Data from the hitherto declared results have improved significantly from the preceding quarters and are expected to end up in the positive territory after five consecutive quarters of earnings decline for the S&P 500 index.

Per the latest Earnings Outlook report, combining the actual results from the 364 S&P 500 members with estimates from the soon-to-report 136 index members, overall Q3 earnings are expected to be up 2.4% on a 1.4% growth in revenues. The relative improvement in estimate revisions for the quarter is largely owing to an improvement in the economy and rising oil prices. Experts widely expect earnings for the S&P 500 index to be up 4.1% in the fourth quarter.

Four of the 16 Zacks sectors are expected to witness an earnings decline in the third quarter, with Oil/Energy, Transportation and Autos being the biggest drag.

Industrial Stocks, belonging to the business services sector is looking reasonably good. For the sector, earnings are expected to grow 16.3%, while sales are touted to rise 8.7% over the last year. The projected improvement is majorly driven by the growing momentum in the economy as a whole and the job market during the quarter.
